Research-only immunosuppressant assay

Waters has expanded its portfolio of products for clinical and research laboratories including a research use only (RUO) kit for quantitative measurement of Tacrolimus, Sirolimus, Everolimus, and Cyclosporin A.

The Waters MassTrak Immunosuppressants XE RUO Kit provides laboratories an alternative to immunoassay test kits for research laboratory analyses. The MassTrak Immunosuppressants XE RUO Kit is for clinical research laboratories seeking an alternative to immunoassay kits for quantitative measurement of immunosuppressant drug levels. Each kit includes reagents, controls and calibrators, a tuning mixture for the mass spectrometer, and an analytical column for performing up to 500 determinations/kit.

Used with the Waters Acquity TQD System, the MassTrak Immunosuppressants XE RUO Kit achieves high specificity in measuring the target analyte in the presence of drug metabolites and addresses some of the analytical weaknesses of immunoassay immunosuppressant drug measurement.
